Learning disability care homes from Select Healthcare offer support to individuals with specialised and complex needs with our main aim being to provide care personalised to the needs of each resident. Our staff work towards helping individuals keep and/or regain independence while supporting with personal routines and daily activities. We have 7 homes across the Midlands, Shropshire and Staffordshire with each home housing from 7 to 10 residents.
Our main priority is to create a home-from-home environment where residents are not only supported but feel comfortable and are involved in a community. The activities we involve our residents in are designed to stimulate both the mind and the body and we aim to build calm and structured routines for them that promote independence and security. We have safe outdoor areas as well as comfortable lounge spaces for residents to spend time in and we encourage friendships within the home as well as involvement in local outings.
Our services are suitable for adults with Down’s Syndrome, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Cerebral Palsy, Rett Syndrome and Prader-Willi Syndrome as well as individuals with profound and multiple learning disabilities. Before a resident moves in with us, we carry out a full assessment so we’re able to get as thorough understanding as possible of their individual needs and how we can best support them and we then create a personalised plan aligned with that.
The staff consists of fully trained care assistants, registered nurses and other professionals who provide LD support based on these plans. The personalised plans we provide are frequently updated to make sure the support provided continues to align with the resident’s needs.
Learning disability care is the provision of support for individuals with learning disabilities with various aspects of their lives such as personal day-to-day routines, therapy, emotional support, social skill development and many more. It typically involves providing a safe and structured environment where residents can receive the help they need while their personal growth and independence are also being promoted.
The needs of a person with a learning disability can vary widely depending on what their condition is specifically and how severe it is, e.g. some individuals may only require minimal levels of support while otherwise preserving most of their independence while others may need a higher level of help.
At Select, we strive to provide the exact level of support residents need and we carry out full assessments of individual needs before starting care. This helps us make sure that we’re providing the help that’s needed for individuals to feel supported while also preserving as much independence as they can.
Person-centred care for learning disabilities is the provision of care in a way that respects the individual’s needs, choices and personal goals, e.g. involving them in decisions about their care, daily routines, long-term aspirations, etc. This is something that we at Select take very seriously and is one of the core pillars of the service we offer.
Our staff are trained and have experience providing care for a very wide range of learning disabilities as well as combinations of such for those with more complex needs. Some of the disability types we can support include:
